The Duxford Airshow at the beginning of September is the Imperial War Museum's main family airshow of the year.

It includes a highly varied selection of display acts from the around the UK. This year's show celebrated a wide variety of themes including air racing and competition aerobatics as well as the usual fast paced warbird displays.

Traditionally, this show is usually a varied affair with Duxford's own warbirds joined by aerobatic displays and modern military displays, particularly of note were the Eurofighter Typhoon and the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows. This year's show saw themes that celebrated the World Aerobatic Championships, The King's Cup Air Race as well as a number of American aircraft both new and old.
